Brief naast een vaas met roos 1856 - 1897

Henri-Charles Guérard's "Brief naast een vaas met roos" is a delicate still life depicting a single rose with leaves in a glass vase. The piece, a lithograph dating from 1856 to 1897, is characterized by its subtle use of color and light. The white background and muted hues of the rose and vase create a sense of calm and serenity, reflecting the artistic sensibilities of the 19th century. The image's simple composition and realistic depiction of the rose make it a beautiful example of the Dutch tradition of still life painting.
